The regular quarterly meeting of the
Iowa and Illinois Central District Medi-
cal association met in the board of edu~
| cation rooms, this city, at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, the president, Dr. E.
| II. Bowman, of Andalusia, in the chair,
and DIR. G. L. Eyster. secretary. in his.

ance with the action of the previous

LEGATION. etc.
Dr. Davidson. of Moline, introducing
the appended resolutions, said: 1T is,
perhaps, known to all, that our state So
cieties and the American Medical associ-
alton are composed of delegates from the
local societies, and that their continuance
| as members of these associations de-
ponds chiefly upon their good standing in
the local organizations. The names of
members who have oeen dropped from
the roll of the local society, will likewise
be dropped from the roll of membership
of the other organizations. We know
that too many of our members who are
members also of the American Medical
association, allow year after year to pass
and the society to get along as best it can,
without their presence and without sym>
pathy even. 1t appears to me that a
person whose standing in societies. of 4
supposed higher plane. depends upon his
connection with US, ought to be interest
ed, sufficiently, at least, to grace our
meetings with his occasional attendance
and help. "
"A society, TO be of use, needs to be a
live society, and 1t cannot be this unless
the membership interest themselves by
actual effort"
Believing this, and desiring only the
greatest good to our organization | wish
to offer the following and move their
adoption:
Rssoloed, That this association deems
it the imperative duty of ITS members to
manifest their personal interest in its
growth, progress and elevation. Ms well a.
its perpetuitV TO perform all the duties
assis ned them to the best of their ability,
and to personally attend at least one reg
ular meeting 10 each year
Restored. further, That the name OF
any member who shall have been absent
from all the regular meetings of The So
Clety for the space of one year, shall bt
dropped from the roll and his member
ship cancelled provided, that absence or
account of unavoidable circumstances
shall not be held to be just cause fol
censure. OF what constitutes unavoida
BILE circumstances or reasonable excuses,
shall be determined by two thirds ma
jority vote of the members present
The resolutions were upon motion lait
over until the January meeting.
